minderly Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I threw away the stash of candy I keep hidden in my office bookshelf...oooh chocolates and googies....I will miss youuuu.I go to the stash every time my boss stresses me or makes a comment about my appearance. Link to comment
thedirtyground Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Erhm, your boss commenting on your appearance...? Wouldn't that be considered harassment and/or bullying...? Link to comment
minderly Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Well, sometimes it's "nice" comments (Oh, look, you look nice. Actually wearing makeup today?)...sometimes weird comments (Don't let anyone tell you that you don't have an ass)...sometimes mean comments (Wow, those pants are getting really tight). But saying anything would be the end of my job. Office politics. Eh So usually, I just mush chocolate into my face...comfort foood is how I survive. Which is also why I've gained 20lbs in the past 3 months. Link to comment

Remoth Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Congrats on getting rid of the goodies.

minderly Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 very smart! negative push up and a squat for each comment? That'll make it like 5 a day ;-) Link to comment
marybelle Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Congrats on getting your stash thrown away! Your boss sounds like an evil jerk. I used to have a boss like that and it was horrible. However, you rock and are awesome so who cares what that jerk thinks? Link to comment

Flex Luthor Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Good for you on getting rid of the candy. Don't give your boss that kind of power over you.

LolaB Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Uh, call HR Anyone in management is required to take harassment training. She should know better. It's not a 'social etiquette' thing, it's a 'management' thing. Outside of management those comments are inappropriate, within management they're just illegal. It won't be the end of your job. It will just tell the organization that they need to put some effort into training their managers properly. Anywho... awesome job on all of your progress, i'm loving all of your posts on the woot board! Link to comment
Morrigainz Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Naw, it's not that bad.

Pookie Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Well done on that win! But yes, chiming in on that's not a lack of etiquette, that's a lack of any sense of good managerial skills with regard to dealing with people. I don't mince words with people, but when I have my professional hat on? Whole different story and a manager should know this is 100% inappropriate. Does it happen to other people?

I-Jo Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 keep a log- keep it in excel or a daily diary- remember back as far as you can dates and specific comments. That's totally unacceptable behavior. document it till you're blue in the face and get a lawyer and HR. Great expression I heard the other day- you're mood shouldn't determine your manners- being civil is very important no matter what. Jokes are one thing- but its a fine line with a boss and an employee. congrats on the trashing the stash- I'd do push ups instead- I find it helps me out quiet a bit!!! Link to comment
Darkryft Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 If my boss ever made a comment like that I'd ask him if he'd like to get a first-hand account of how much muscle mass I've added to my arms. Good job on staying strong and tossing the junk. Link to comment
